  • Reproduction Contract

  • Village Center Veterinary Care strives to serve the breeding community and support our breeders to produce healthy puppies that breeders and new owners can be proud of. Your dog’s overall health and well-being are very important to us, as well as the health and well-being of any puppies resulting from our services. Below you will find the requirements and guidelines for owners to follow for their dogs to be considered for our reproductive services.

  • 1. All breeding females must be current on reproductive exam, which must be renewed each breeding cycle.

    2. All breeding females must be of appropriate age, 18 months or older. Records from a veterinarian or a registration certificate with identifying information for the dog will be required to verify her age.

    3. We strongly encourage clients to call for a Breeding Soundness Exam with the first sign of her heat cycle. This allows us to schedule you appropriately.

  • *I have read and understand the above statements.   *      

  • 4. Vaccines or titers must be up to date for each patient (male and female). If you cannot provide record of vaccinations or titers, we will not provide services; alternately, vaccines will be required the day of first exam.

  • *I have read and understand the above statement.   *      

  •  

    5. Breeding animals must be of sound temperament. They must permit a thorough examination without excessive restraint. “Excessive restraint” will be determined by the clinic staff

  • *I have read and understand the above statement.   *      

  • 6. Pregnancy confirmation appointments should be scheduled at the time of the breeding.

    7. Puppy count appointments should be scheduled at the time of the pregnancy confirmation appointment.

  • *I have read and understand the above statements.   *      

  • 8. Health requirements: Breeding animals must be in sound physical condition and must not have any medical conditions that are not well-managed. Our doctors reserve the right to deny reproductive services to any animal. 

    A. Any animal that has difficulty breathing or has severe respiratory signs of Brachycephalic Airway Obstructive Syndrome will be refused reproductive services. 

    B. If a heart murmur is found at the time of examination, an echocardiogram with a board-certified cardiologist will be required prior to continuation of reproductive services.  Appointment wait time for a cardiologist can be weeks to months. If you are aware of a murmur in your dog, it is recommended to obtain an echocardiogram appointment prior to making an appointment for breeding services with VCVC.

    C. We strongly recommend that all breeding animals have full health testing prior to breeding as recommended by your breed’s parent club. This is not a requirement, but we would be happy to recommend testing based on breed.

  • *I have read and understand the above statements.   *      

  • 9. A $50 deposit for new clients will be required to make the first reproductive appointment. This amount will go towards your first visit. This deposit will be forfeited if the appointment is cancelled less 24 hours prior to the scheduled appointment. To reschedule appointments after a no-show or late cancellation, another $50 deposit will be required. For already established clients: continual no-shows or showing up late for appointments will result in additional fees or discontinuation of services.

  • *I have read and understand the above statement.   *      

  • C-sections:

    A. C-sections cannot be guaranteed for those who did not do proper ovulation timing with a veterinarian. We will try our best to work these into our schedule, but cannot guarantee a spot in our schedule. As a result, C-sections performed without proper ovulation timing will require reverse progesterone testing(s) and will also require an additional fee of $1,000.

    B. For on-call services to be provided, prior to scheduling a C-section, a puppy count radiograph is required to determine the number of additional staff needed after-hours.

  • *I have read and understand the above statements.   *      

  • Please remember that our staff works hard to provide reproductive services. All reproductive services are elective procedures. Any combative, disrespectful or inappropriate behavior from clients will result in the right of refusal of services.

  • We are very thankful for our clients, and we look forward to assisting you with your breeding program.
